View from the top of Roaring Brook Falls. While the waterfall itself is easily viewed from the a roadside pull off, the hike to the top is well rewarded. On this day, I arrived before sunrise and used a headlamp to make the climb.

I got a really, really good seat right at the front of the Unimog. Perfect for taking photographs, if only I hadn't been way too frightened of losing my camera over the side of the Unimog.

A headlamp and a long exposure in the late blue hour to create this cool symmetrical shot.

Spilled water on the laptop last night. Happily, it's finally functioning again tonight at last!

Quick reflexes. I suggest you cultivate them. ;)

Car Show Sunday afternoon. This headlamp caught my eye. I wonder if the beam it casts shows up as a skull image?

Gainsborough Riverside

Karijini National Park, Western Australia.

At night, I was searching for motives on the campground and found this tent under a tree. I did not know if maybe someone was in it and so I decided to illuminate the tree a bit, it took a while until it worked out as I wanted and just then a man with his headlamp ran through the picture. When he passed I greeted with a friendly hello and he was scared and winced because he had not seen me in the dark :)

Of all the pictures I made here on the tree I liked this here the best.

Mainly I tried here to take the too bright lights of the headlamp a little bit out of the foreground and with the green of the tree I have been busy for a long time ;-)

Wishing you a nice weekend.

Headlamp comes in handy

Headlamp and bumper detail of a Jaguar E Type, taken using a loaned Fujifilm X-T3, curtesy of Photography New's Fujifilm Make The Switch campaign a couple of years ago. This was shot at Milton Keynes Museum during a car exhibition.

Entered into Buckingham Camera Club's POTY 2021 (R7 Open). it scored 20/20

It was our second night in Africa. Our guide warned us to watch the path carefully at night for scorpions. So Sheree and I made our way back to our little cabin sweeping our headlamps back and forth looking for these venomous little peckers.

It was sort of exciting in a strange way,. We don't get a lot of scorpions in Edmonton...although I felt a geek wearing a headlamp. (I knew a kid who was president of the Science Club who took a headlamp to camp once...enough said.)

Anyway: since the room lights ran off a generator and we were asked to keep the power uses down, I decided to read my book using my headlamp.

Sheree was sleeping beside me and I was turning pages on a Mankell thriller about a guy in South Africa during the bloody uprising era waiting for the machete to fall.

Time passes and I am deeper and deeper into this book. Then all of a sudden there's this humming thrumming sound and something flies into my face.

I assume it's a bug, but it's a fast little sucker. It smacks me in the face and flies away. Since the only light source in the room is currently on my forehead, I accept it. (I don't like it, of course and am better than half way grossed out by it, but I accept it.)

Since the hero of the book is landing in serious doo-doo, I go back to my book. A few minutes later it smacks me in the face again -- and I am starting to get better than half pissed now.

It must be some serious kind of bug, I think. And, being a great white hunter, I shrewdly evolve a clever plan: I shall hang my lit headlamp on the bedpost, wait for the insect to be drawn to the light again and I will squish it with my book (being very careful not to get any African bug guts on me because...well y'know.).

(Sometimes I surprise myself with my own cunning.)

So I sit there in the dark, novel poised, every sense alert and tuned to the whispering darkness. I was quivering with a hunter's anticipation.

Nothing.

I wait.

Pretty smart bug I think.

I get tired and begin to think it's a little silly for a grown man to be waiting in the darkness to outsmart and then ambush a bug.

That little sucker comes round again, with the usual soft whispering thrumming sound I can't identify...and I see it's not a bug at all. In the flash I see it's a BAT. A little tiny bat.

I abandon the "wait and squish strategy," turn out the light and go to sleep.

Being a Great White Hunter, I most definitely do NOT pull the covers over my head.

Score?

Bat: one.

Great African/Canadian hunter: zero.

I love Africa. I really really do. This is an amazing place.

We're here for another two...almost three days...before we leave for London.

Thought you guys might like to see The Headlamp...and it makes for an excellent excuse to tell the story.

Tomorrow, Sheree and I are going into a shark cage in Great White Shark infested waters. They promise up-close interactions with the most ferocious ocean predator on the planet. Seriously...we are. Her idea. Of course. Imagine that: going into a cage in the water...with sharks. On PURPOSE. Geez.

I think I'll take my novel with me in case I need to squish the shark.

**sigh**

Anyone want to take a guess at what car this is?

Or slide. The smoky air enables headlamps to show up well.

Another reason why I prefer to shoot the details instead of the whole car. Especially the lights.

Aston-Martin Headlamp.

A friend told me it looks like a spaceship.

1957 Lincoln Premiere. The Premiere was known for its stylish exterior, high-grade interior and some unique features. The Premiere was one of the largest cars ever made, larger than contemporaneous Cadillacs, and with their canted headlights and scalloped fenders had styling considered by many to be excessive even in that decade of styling excess.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - In the last minutes of pitch darkness before dawn, I pulled over on the narrow gravel road into the mountains. Peering down the embankment into the Teton River, first I looked left, then right. 2 yellow eyes reflected back at me about 200 feet away. Suddenly I wished I had a brighter headlamp as the creature quickly came towards me. My best guess is that it was a juvenile black bear or perhaps a wolverine, but I’ll never know for sure. After retreating to my car for a few minutes, I went back out when the coast was clear. This was my first chance to capture the Milky Way since October. Any stray light in this 20-minute exposure would have ruined the shot. So I waited and let my eyes adjust to the darkness until it was finished. The peak is called Wind Mountain, and it guards the entrance to the Rocky Mountain Front in Northwest Montana. In the months ahead the core of the galaxy will rise a little bit earlier and higher each night. Which is good because I always prefer staying up late to see it over waking up early.

This is Headlamp, Heddy for short. She is Lottie's daughter and cousin to Baxter, Pansy and Ludo. She picked up her name as a tiny kitten because of the blazing ginger patch on her face and it just stuck!

I cannot resist another lambretta shot from #biamf last weekend. This one reminds me of a frog. Bristol's 13th annual Italian Automoto Fair.
